Chapter 1095 2 Options, 2 Futures
"Don't worry, it's just a snake."
In fact, Maca's words were far from dispelling Luna's doubts.
But since she came here this time, it was mainly for the two Muggle children Candice and Kevin, so she only temporarily took her attention away from Maca's arm after a little hesitation.
"Oh, a very special snake!"
Luna nodded, then turned around and pushed the two children in front of her.
"Look! This is Candice, Charles' cousin...and this is Candice's good friend Kevin." She happily introduced to Maca, "Before lunch today, I went to the school hospital to find Pomfrey When Madam was taking the muscle relaxant—oh, you know, the teammates of the team have been practicing very hard these days, and they need to use potions to relieve muscle soreness..."
"Yes, I know! Although Slytherin has a lot of advantages this year because of the low score last time, your Ravenclaw team is not completely hopeless of competing for the silver cup."
Seeing that Luna had a tendency to wander off without saying a word, Maca could only shake her head, expressing her helplessness for her old habit of forgetting the topic while talking.
And after echoing and interrupting Luna, he took the initiative to bring back what he was talking about just now.
Maca signaled to Candice and Kevin, and said:
"You met them before lunch?"
While asking this question, Maca also showed a gentle smile to the two children - he could see that the two seemed a little nervous.
As for Luna, after hearing that Maka returned to the original topic, she immediately picked it up without any sense of disobedience.
"Well, to be precise, I met Candice before lunch," she said. "I got on well with her, and we were both interested in each other's lives. . . . Candice, I said Right?"
Asked by Luna suddenly, Candice glanced at Maca subconsciously, then nodded and said:
"Ah! Yes... I really want to know what a wizard's day is like, and this big sister told me about her life very carefully. Seriously, after listening to it, I really feel very Wonderful! And..."
Maca didn't expect that this little girl seemed to be quite quiet on the surface, but she was actually a chatterbox. As she continued,
The initial anxiety quickly disappeared without a trace, and even the voice of speaking became louder and louder.
But obviously, that's not what Maca wants to hear.
When he realized that the topic had strayed from the main topic here again, he had to wave his hand slightly to let Candice, who was talking about her interest, stop for a while.
"I have to say that Miss Lovegood's life is not representative of other wizards at all. And basically speaking, wizards and Muggles-that is, you, the difference in daily life is actually far less than yours. It's as big as you can imagine. We also take the train, read the newspaper...even occasionally go to the beach for a fish and chip holiday?”
Having said that, he changed the subject again:
"Okay, if there is something interesting, we can talk about it later. And now, I think it's time to talk about business—"
Just as he was talking, Maca simply turned his head and looked at the relatively calm kid Kevin—to be honest, compared to the out-of-key Luna and Candice who was quite similar to her, Kevin Obviously more mature.
"Is your name 'Kevin'?" Maca said, "Tell me! What is the reason you came to my room to find me this time?"
Maybe Kevin couldn't bear the topic's rampage, so just after Maca finished asking, he immediately replied:
"It's for a magic called 'Forgetting Curse'... Well, it should be magic, right? Sir, we heard from another gentleman before that Candice and I are likely to be erased after recovery... But We don't want to lose something in our heads."
"Oh, thank you for your concise and clear explanation!" Maca shrugged with a smile, and then thought about it, "How should I put it... If you want to keep your memory, it's not impossible. In fact, it just happened recently Some people are doing it. But in this way, you really don't have many choices."
On the way to the conversation, Maca paused for a moment, and then said:
"First, you can stay in our world of wizards and learn magic knowledge through correspondence education, but you can't go back to the original world without the company of wizards..."
"Of course, it will be more difficult for ordinary people to learn this knowledge than wizards, and it will be difficult to obtain proportional gains-to be honest, this is a very debilitating thing for learning itself."
"We can also learn magic?" Candice said excitedly when she heard this.
However, Maca could only give her a regretful expression.
"No, it's not 'Learn Magic', it's 'Learn Magical Knowledge'. At least for now, you are definitely unable to use magic spells, and you can't even see what magic looks like." He said, "So, just Learning 'knowledge' is just... quite boring."
"Is there... no knowledge that we can also use?" Kevin asked, "Just one or two things are good!"
But Maca still spread her hands helplessly.
"No, at least you need the cooperation of a real wizard before you have a chance to participate. Moreover, you still may not feel anything, and you don't even know whether the power of magic exists or not."
But when he said this, Maca suddenly showed a smile again, and heard him say:
"However, this does not mean that you will have no achievements—you must know that the famous magic school in the United States, Ilvermorny, has four founders like our school, and one of them is a pure Muggle! "
When Candice and Kevin heard this, their eyes lit up.
"Muggles? Created a wizarding school?"
"With three other wizards."
Maca's words seemed to pour a large bucket of ice water on top of the flame-like passion, making the corners of the two children's mouths droop instantly.
After a moment of silence, Kevin was the most calm after all, and he was the first to speak:
"Sir, just now you said this is the 'first', does that mean that there are 'second' and 'third' options later?"
"Well, your memory is good!" Maca nodded and said, "The second option is that you have to swear an oath containing magical power under my witness. And this oath will prohibit you People reveal all the people and things you have seen, heard, and learned here."
"Oh, you must pay attention, such an oath must never be broken. Because if you break the oath, you will immediately suffer very severe punishment..."
After giving a kind reminder, he finally said:
"And after you have made the oath, you can keep this memory and go back to your original life—it will still be the same as before, and there will be no changes."
"Uh..." After hearing this, Kevin couldn't help asking cautiously, "Is there still a 'third'?"
Maca heard the words, immediately smiled and said:
"Yes! I can send you to our wizard's prison, where you can feel the charm of magic up close - on that isolated island, a large group of magical creatures live, and their power is Even people like you who have no magical talent can clearly feel it!"
Standing aside and hearing what Luna said now, she couldn't help pursing her lips and said:
"Maca!"
It seems that even Luna, who has never been able to tell the difference between a joke and the truth, can hear that Maca is teasing the two children this time.
"Okay, okay!" He laughed, "Azkaban Wizard Prison is not a pleasant place, where almost everyone will only feel hopeless—although this can indeed be said to be a choice , but I believe that you will never want to live there."
By now, Candice and Kevin naturally understand that the last third option is just a joke of the young gentleman in front of them.
Although it is like this kind of wizard's joke, they are somewhat confused, so that's it.
After a little thought, there was another short moment of silence, but this time it was Candice who spoke eagerly first:
"In that case, I choose—"
Before she finished speaking, Maka shook her hand at her, signaling her to stop for now.
"You don't need to choose now, think about it carefully!" He smiled and said, "I hope you understand that this choice will affect your whole life in the future! Because, according to your final answer, I may have more arrangements here We need your cooperation."
In fact, Maca was just a temporary idea about Candice and Kevin.
As for some of his thoughts, they came to mind when he visited Old Batty in Diagon Alley last time. Today, with Luna's inadvertent "assistance", he just happened to find two good candidates.
"So, let's talk about it after you have fully recovered with Madam Pomfrey's consent! Don't worry, with my words, you won't be forcibly erased—so you can think about it with peace of mind."
Regarding the two options given by Maca, although it seems that there is nothing to choose, it is actually a difficult choice between "magic or family".
Not to mention whether Candice can think of this, at least in Maca's view, as long as he is given enough time to think, Kevin, who is more used to thinking carefully, will definitely understand the significance of the two options.
And at this moment, Luna who finally waited until the matter came to an end said quickly:
"Solved? Oh, I think, we can now talk about another thing - Maca, the snake on your arm seems very upset, it said, you just drew three tubes of blood from it !"
"what?"
